I sum up the story, very simple: he says he was annoyed with city living, he liked hunting and went to live in the cave, more than 20 years ago;
he says he eats normal things, including what he hunts. He is not connected to anything religious or similar in any way.

I'll tell you what I see and what I think myself later about it.

But my favorite video for heart-warming purposes is this one, sorry Spanish again, maybe there's a German version:

Sometimes crap-tv seems to produce something of use, and the producers here must have been humans with a streak of authenticity left: the choice of music was absolutely spot on to convey what hermit life is about: total profound purity of heart and connection to true reality.

The very first time that I ever heard of inedia, well second after HRManek, was while lying my eyes on Steve Torrence teaching in one of Joachim seminars. I noticed completely unusual huge pupils, and I knew instantly that it had to be true, never doubted a second, because it was obvious to me that pupils were permanently opened to the full to catch up as much light as possible. Same in Jani.

So this apparently uneducated non-spiritual hermit hunter, in spite of eating, seems to me if I am seeing right, has developed the huge pupils of people living on light. And I like to think it is so because eremitical life is in itself literally "enlightening". May be wrong but who cares!
